These adjustments can also be applied, on a manual basic, when working from a JPG file. When working from an eligible Panasonic raw file, the program automatically apples corrections for geometric distortion, vignetting, and lateral chromatic aberration from a database of lens profiles. The image can also be resized (I haven't yet looked into the subtleties of that). There are extensive provisions for controlling the parameters of a new file (JPEG "quality", for example. That operation is in fact described as "developing". But of course the edited image (called a "scene") can be turned into a new file. It is not an all-purpose image editor, and so has no provision for layers, objects, masking, and the like.Īll its operations are done on a "nondestructive" basis, leaving the victim file unchanged but capturing a recipe for all changes in a separate file.
The program provides for image rotation and for cropping, and as well for perspective adjustment. Included is an eyedropper for fingering a known neutral object in the scene, a tool rarely available in other image processing software when working on a JPG file.
Of course we all hear that it is not possible to do as thorough a job of white balance color correction on a JPG file as on a raw file, but Silkypix does not seem to understand that. Of particular interest is that its very flexible set of color correction tools (including those for "white balance") can be applied to a JPG file. it is perfectly happy (subject to the above limitation, of course) to load a JPG file and perform all its available operations on it. This version will only open files tagged as coming from one of a long list of Panasonic cameras (but see below on overcoming that limitation).Īlthough it is billed as a "raw developer".
My Panasonic DMC-FZ1000 camera came with a customized version of Silkypix Developer Studio, a "raw developer" published by Ichikawa Soft Laboratory.
